IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: After seeing the comments, I have decided to remove the Griseo:Cosmic Expression part of the video,(it will take a while before it’s edited out) unfortunately I can’t add it to another section so I’ll write it here. ->She’s being moved from highest priority to okay SP pull. ->In short, not really recommended as of now, especially for new players. For older players, get her only if you want a really strong Bleed team. ty for the feedback everyone!
A couple of things to say: -sorry for the scuffed mic and mid editing quality, i tried my best -I tried to mention everything important, sorry if I missed out on something -character/gear pngs from honkai impact wiki website~ Hope all of you are doing well! 😙
hi3 has so much potential but is ruined by corporate greed ,most of the new character which comes out are just to power creep and kill old meta endless cycle the old valk also not getting revamp. or buff (justice for HoHe) plus the f2p option are so limited u have to spend so much crystal just to get 1 char. + u even need a weapon and THREE!!!! stigma
for new players... i honestly recommend to get sena and thelema (both will run in 7.4) and then pull for whoever u like, those 2 will be able to carry and brute force 99% of the game
herrscher trio is such a tragedy last year they are strong now 2/3 lose their values poor little Mei, her role in the gameplay is such a tragedy in the trio
yeah was planning on getting new fuhua because of skin but theleme is just so good and useful for many patches, and will be support for future valks as well
As a Myriad player I'll just say for newcomers too regarding FoV, Starlit Expression and Cosmic Expression and Lunar Vow: - FoV is so strong she can even cover bosses that aren't for her BUT she will get replaced by better dps in the future but not anytime soon. She is the fire empress for now. Regarding Memorial Arena, she is extremely powerful there too but with her SS gameplay unlocked. SHe can 0s The Alien Guard. She can 39800+ SSS Benares with HoTr and Luna (meaning she can compete with the Trio easily there despite not being her boss). She even scores better on Sirin's boss due to her sheer power. But S rank FoV and SS rank FoV are two different monster. Don't waste crystals on her. Her super cheap banner has already passed, not worth it to pull her anymore. - Starry Expression is an absolute monster of a unit still even if really slow nowadays. Strong QTE, strong buff, SP regeneration. Manipulation of timer in MA. You will always use her on Bleed boss, SS rank Boss for 0s kill and some other very technical boss like Jizo for a fast kill. A way better invest for now over Cosmic Expressions. - Why is Cosmic Expression less valuable than Starry? She is more for high end players because her strength revolves about being an amazing Lunar Vow support which permits to let HoTr/Eden to be used in other Memorial Boss. Cosmic rotation is really fast and nice but her DPS value for stardust is really rng and slow. She will only shine as a high end technical unit for the Twin guardians boss, Heimdal SSS, Bright Knight: Excelsis and some 0s kill but even then there are other options. - Lunar Vow: She is an amazing DPS and an Amazing support enabling you to put HoTr in another team if needed. She has so much time slow, dmg and time stop that she can annihilate most Memorial bosses and Superstring bosses are mincemeat against her. But. Even if she plays as both support and dps, it's not the anniversary anymore and she is a high end unit too. Not a good invest right now for a new player. Aso most of her absolutely insane potential lies in her S2 rank and SS rank even if her S0 is already disgustingly powerful. Now little other advice as to why Part 2 Valkyries are a better investment for you: - Honkai Dev Team said that from now on Valkyries won't solely be a support or a dps. They will be way more special and polyvalent than that. - Senadina is right now, a DPS but her hidden talent has been unlocked in 7.4 and she became the specific support for Thelema, the new ICE dps. And surprise, Thelema is also the support for Senadina. Meaning that by pulling Senadina you get both a support for the new character and a dps for Stardust and Lightning weather. - New valkyries don't care about typing so much anymore. before, teams had 3 fire valkyries, 3 ice valkyries etc etc. Now you can have 1 lightning, 1 fire, 1 ice and it would still work greatly. - New valkyrie teams being made of different types enables you to have the hard and expansive (only Trio before) Symphony Weather coverage for Superstring. It's really huge as this weather is a literal nightmare if you don't own the Trio at very high level. - You will probably even get new otherwise complicated coverage in the future like the SUmmoned Entity one but without coping with some valkyrie like Mobius and TeriTeri. Best part of it is that you will already have a whole team as new Part 2 Valkyries can support each other in perfect synergy despite being of different type.
after read everything that you have tiped, i still dont know what to do because i got LV with one pull and my Senadina is full set should i pull for LV stig and weapon or just go for new ice s rank
@@danangprakoso2670 Honesty, the most important thing is getting the weapon. but Senadina works best with Coralie which you have fullset for free and Helia. There really isn't any other copium set for LV except if you have Tesla Band M and Turgenev T & B. But the pity system for Part 1 Valk is not forgiving unlike part 2. You should go for Thelema anyway as she supports Senadina and is supported by Senadina and covers a huge range of bosses : all ICE Bosses, Symphony bosses, Lightning bosses, stardust bosses etc. She is future proof. and Part 2 Valkyrie can have their stigmata crafted. Top Team is Senadina DPS + Thelema support + Helia or Coralie or Thelema DPS, Senadina support, Coralie / Helia Then again, remember this is a gacha game and a waifu collector, pull and fullset the valkyrie you like the most. I'm only talking from the view of a Top 100 Server player meaning I'm only talking about meta value. The most important thing is to have fun
Please help me with this delimma, i can get both FoV 4/4 and Lantern when she releases but my question is, Will FoV be useless by 7.5? I don't want to waste that many crystals for it to be useless by the next patch. Heard a couple of ppl complain about FoV being relevant only up until now and they are not happy about it.
have to admit, I've never really given HI3 all that much time, I picked it up years ago but every time I tried to get invested, the mechanics and powercreep cycles seemed far too abstruse and intimidating. finally coming back again with a dedication this time to figure it out, and this provided a really helpful initial breakthrough for that, so thank you
I think part 2's characters will be the optimal investment from now on. Although HoTr, Luna Vow and FoV are still OP, I'm afraid that the meta is soon shifting to Astral Ring oriented teams (just look at the new Abyss bosses in 7.4) so they can be out meta at a faster pace. Anyway, helpful content and I love hearing your voice!
I wish this was a video when I started playing a year ago... then I wouldn't have to learn that elemental damage can't crit today lol Already had to catch up to years of content and mechanics in the game so I feel like these guides will always be relevant every now and then, especially now with part2 changes - keep it up! 💪
As a mostly meta gamer of like 4 years id like to say this video is pretty amazing! I have sent it to a lot of my friends that just started for part 2!
One small critic i have in general, when making a "begginer's" guide, people really should just say Misteln instead of Hare cause more than once i saw people confused about who Hare is.. Other than that, great guide :)
Gotta admit, this was wayyyy more useful than I thought it would be lmao thank you🙏 Now I'm not sure whether to pull for thelema's sig gear or invest in hersch of orig since she's freeee🤪
I am a new player and I want to thank you for this video. I love your voice btw, very calming :) I will keep doing the story mode events and some other game modes for now. any tips on how should I use my crystals? I keep saving them for whatever reason, I have no idea whats the best way to spend them. and for which packs/crates
For new players I would advise AGAINST pulling starlit expression gears. She's a slight increase over eden in 1 team (lv dps) I would recommend just playing fischl + eden team for LV dps and save your pulls. As for another bleed dps getting released, do note that all Valkyries released from now on will have optimal part 2 specific teams so SI doesn't even have significant future value
ty for the feedback, I have removed that part of that video! also just wanted to mention that fischl is only ever used with Lunar Vow for BKE boss in memorial(still most people don’t use fischl at all). otherwise it’s the usual supports hotr/eden/griseo😁
@@MJ_18 oh for sure. Fischl is just a temporary replacement for HoTr for Luna team. hoTr is miles better but actually requires you to pull a whole ass valk lol
idk, CE is a new valk and specialises in bleed which means she won't phase out anytime soon so it won't be unadvisable to get her gears. she can be used as a physical/bleed DPS for many new players and when you get a LV, you can use her as a support and she won't be benched. tho yea, she's a part 1 character so honestly just get new part 2 characters.
@@MJ_18 I was saying that because Marina hadn't done something similar yet and as a new player he was recommended first always in the RUclips search. RUclips is a tough race! I subbed though! Hope your channel blows up you deserve it!
that's normal I was like that too in the beginning! I will be uploading a new investment guide in a couple of weeks since things have been changing! hope you enjoy the game 🤗
good guide. I think I probably agree with most things here, I'd just like to point a few things I disagree with FoV is not a must pull, she's a pure DPS and doesn't offer the same longevity as supports do. She'll be relevant for 4-5 more months sure, but her bosses will only be sprinkled in past that point. Not to mention she's already been rerun, so I don't think we're getting her again next patch. Also generally people shouldn't pull for DPSes after their initial banner. Putting cosmic expression in the same tier as 7.3 trio, LV, HoRB, and HoTr is quite frankly misleading. I don't know if I could even argue her to be a high priority SP valkyrie with how niche she is currently.
Thank you for the comment and feedback, I guess since I don’t have Griseo I was mislead that she’s really strong, so I will edit that part of the video out. As for Fu Hua, I don’t think that she’s a must pull either, that’s why I mentioned that she’s heavily reliant on her gears, but she still is the best fire DPS and she is new after all so I couldn’t leave her out. Also I see you’re a content creator as well, thank you for the hard work you put in to improve the community! 🤗
@@MJ_18Thank you for the complement, and thank you too for making this guide. But let me correct my wording. IMO, I don't think FoV is a high priority pull either. She's not on the same level as LV, HoTr, or LV at least. I don't have an issue calling her a one of the best DPSes rn, but putting her in the same section as LV, HoRB, and HoTr seems to imply that she's relative in terms of usefulness to them. Although this is a very opinionated take, so I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking she's relative to them.
Dps is never a must pull, so I disagree with you there. She's a bad pull especially for a new player, she's gear dependent and her main support is hard to get. Worst of all she was easy to rank up in her first debut, now people are paying regular price for S0 Also - part 2 characters are main priority over part 1 and part 1.5 characters No part 1 is a must pull or even recommended to pull because part 2 characters are new meta
There's very few guides out there so any guide (not that your is bad, it's great) would be appreciated. I think when I've started playing there's a progression guide that you can follow along like lv10-20 20-30 and so on. Returning to the game a lv.80 with zero memory and there's so many things to do (and to not do lol) so this helps a lot. I'm Seele+Bronya simp I still think Bianka is the coolest Valk lol *PE is coolest tho hehe
Watching this now, i think now trio lost its value completely as an fire-lightning-ice team, now they will be replaced with part2 trio of sena, thelema and lantern
I personally think I did a big brain thing, when I got HoRb recently in her rerun I only got her cuz I saw she was on the beginner supply so I could roll for her gears for the next 80 ish days at the time…..so hopefully I’m set very soon on her but I might stop spending my gems on her gear for a little bit cuz I want thelema
thanks for this vid! after finishing sena trio i started to feel really confused about what to do (i'm like in my day10 since i started). I will keep saving for Thelema then! (i love lunar vow but as an f2p i know i will not be able to get her gear since part 1 characters are really expensive)
Fantastic video, I subscribed. I want to ask you, at this moment do you think its better to pull Senadina to support a Thelema Main DPS or to wait until after Lantern for someone to support Thelema since I don't want Lantern.
Honestly I couldn't tell you 100% cause I don't know what Hoyo's future plan is but as of now Senadina's value is pretty great. Maybe you can see who the 7.6 valk is and then decide :D
Thanks for this great vid it's crazy to think that i never able to get hoh and i was planning to get her this time but i think it would be better for me to pull for thelema as i already have the new part 2 valk with pull gears hayyyy 😂😢
Helias weapon is strong, it inflict a total damage taken debuff in enemies hit. However, it isn’t nessacery for her. Still, fully gearing the Senadina trio team should be your first priority as a new f2p player. It should allow you to brute force most endgame content. Then start on the other teams. Ice is cheapest with both the support characters (Li Sushang and Shigure Kira) being farmable.
it’s really good for the senadina/coralie team BUT you don’t have to get it now, I think you should rather save for thelema for the time being and perhaps get helia’s weapon the next time it comes around🤍
Any tips on agony 1? Whenever I play on abyss, I could deal damage but to the enemy's HP bar, it felt like an ant tickling a giant 😂 Granted my physical DPS isn't really up to date (HoV) but she's the best I got.
unfortunately HoV is completely useless, You're better off farming Griseo Cosmic expression or Susannah who do bleed dmg and can deal with physical weathers, farming to buy Miss Pink Elf from War Treasury, or just waiting for the next physical dps to come around! :D
The different recommendations feel a bit odd for Chrono Navi/HoTr, they're both old (only 5 weeks between them), and they're both very meta with no indication they're going away in the near future. But the gacha unit is one of your most recommended and the farm unit is one of you least recommended?
they’re not the same though, chrono navi can only be used in fire teams, while hotr can be used in literally any elemental team, including the trio and Senadina. the only other revolutionary support like HoTr we’ve had is AE and it took exactly 3 years for her to be outclassed.
are there any characters in the game that work fine with F2P gear or not just their gear? sounds kinda hard to get all that signature gear for a beginner
since you’re a beginner, i would really recommend rolling for part 2 characters(senadina/thelema). the meta is shifting towards part 2 characters being the only meta. all part 2 characters have their stigmas craftable so you only need to roll for their weapon which has a 60 pull guarantee and the pity carries over, unlike for part 1 characters’ gear banner where the pity doesn’t carry over. part 1 characters are getting replaced pretty fast and they’re more expensive to build. besides that, just to mention it, in general characters always need their weapons. as for part 1 characters, supports use turgenevTB/mei beach party M. DPS’ are pretty reliant on their stigmas though. best of luck!🩷
how does this not fucking exhaust you? oh my god i am SO glad i escaped this hellhole powercreep game. jesus fucking christ, it's only been a year and we're calling these valkyries old and outdated...
bro never played gacha games, whining about characters getting powercrept in a YEAR is wild And there's characters that lasted for THREE YEARS That's a long time for any gacha character, also just because they're old doesn't mean they're useless now
well that’s unfortunately how average gacha games work, powercreep is pretty bad in most. i have started to be less meta-focused though, now I just roll for characters if i like them 😆
Thank you so much for this video. I am returning player and have a guaranteed S rank in 10 pulls left. I was wondering if I should pull for Lunar Vow, Thelema or Hotr, or wait for Senadina's rerun? I only have old valkyries like Herscher of Reason, Thunder and Void.
hi! to be honest I would really take up part 2 characters as your main priority. Theresa is very good, but these new characters are only getting better with time. As for Thelema or Senadina, for now I would suggest Senadina. Thelema loses damage if she’s run in a team with part 1 supports(kira/sushang) compared to running her with Sena and Coralie. For now I would say wait for Senadina banner, or possibly the new fire s-rank that got teased today! Thank you for watching and commenting! 🤍🩷
except for Senadina being valuable, no. I'm planning on doing a new one soon, but for the time being the only thing that's important is to avoid part 1 and roll for part 2 s-ranks. 😚
@@MJ_18 Ty I appreciate the advice :D Sometimes I feel so lost because i started in 2018, played a half year with little to no thoughts about meta. Then I came back 2 weeks ago but felt paralyzed if i should spend on the supply or not lol.
If you just started, it’s recommended to pull for the characters from part 2 (for this patch, Senadina) due to their weapon and stigmata being easier to obtain. Even if you don’t have enough time, the pity for character is kept for the next banner, so it’s ok. Regarding pulling for starter supply, it’s totally fine to do so in my opinion. I personally like part 1 characters more and also they are still strong, especially Seele. (Kiana is also strong, but needs 3 s rank characters for optimization 😂) Tbh, I would suggest pulling for characters you like instead of meta if you just started. It’s not hard clearing story quests, and it only gets sweaty in late game and requires meta characters.
no you're doing everything wrong, starter supply is a 50/50 banner, herrscher of finality is expensive to build and a bad pull for new players specifically because of that You should've pulled on expansion supply because Senadina is new meta, she's a lightening dps and elemental support plus her teammate are just two obtainable A ranks they demolish majority of content
@@rontoro8799I agree, I also like the characters of part 1 more. My plan was to either pull for HoRe and use her as a DPS at first time or pull HoFin, pick up the free HoO and then pull HoTr to collect all the trio. And instead of Senadina, I would like Crimson Vow as lightning DPS or maybe Aponia
I would really advise against rolling on starter, HoRB is amazing yes, but HoFi is one of the worst pulls for beginners as she needs two other characters and needs her gears. Don’t be discouraged because you missed out on Senadina, characters in this game have reruns very often, so she’ll probably be back in 2-3 months! As for now, save your crystals for Thelema next patch, there’s still a month before she’s released AND her banner will last 3-4 weeks. Best of luck! 😙
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
After seeing the comments, I have decided to remove the Griseo:Cosmic Expression part of the video,(it will take a while before it’s edited out) unfortunately I can’t add it to another section so I’ll write it here.
->She’s being moved from highest priority to okay SP pull.
->In short, not really recommended as of now, especially for new players. For older players, get her only if you want a really strong Bleed team.
ty for the feedback everyone!
well you can use Cosmic Expresion for SD type too. it just somehow Luna break everything apart regardless of type.
I'm a new player (returning) and I was able to get Cosmic Expression before. I have no idea how to use her though xD
A couple of things to say:
-sorry for the scuffed mic and mid editing quality, i tried my best
-I tried to mention everything important, sorry if I missed out on something
-character/gear pngs from honkai impact wiki website~

hi3 has so much potential but is ruined by corporate greed ,most of the new character which comes out are just to power creep and kill old meta endless cycle the old valk also not getting revamp. or buff (justice for HoHe) plus the f2p option are so limited u have to spend so much crystal just to get 1 char. + u even need a weapon and THREE!!!! stigma

herrscher trio is such a tragedy
last year they are strong
now 2/3 lose their values
poor little Mei, her role in the gameplay is such a tragedy in the trio
yeah it’s kind of crazy how they went from being able to do almost every boss and now they’re not worth it at all(except hotr ofc)
Great vid! Seeing HoH in low priority really felt like the end of an era though ;(
Fr it feels like yesterday when Ely herrscher was released 😭
Well her team comp is expensive, and new ice valk will be up next version
Yeah, i feel old now
I have an s1 4/4 by not even getting one ellie character card, just her frags from gacha HimekoLMAO
But she was never relevant as a valk, i never pulled her thanks to sushang dps
Very good video. I appreciate people trying to create HI3 content, even if it's not suported that much.
Pull part 2, skip part 1, very simple
yeah was planning on getting new fuhua because of skin but theleme is just so good and useful for many patches, and will be support for future valks as well
As a Myriad player I'll just say for newcomers too regarding FoV, Starlit Expression and Cosmic Expression and Lunar Vow:

Not to mention she's already been rerun, so I don't think we're getting her again next patch. Also generally people shouldn't pull for DPSes after their initial banner.
Putting cosmic expression in the same tier as 7.3 trio, LV, HoRB, and HoTr is quite frankly misleading. I don't know if I could even argue her to be a high priority SP valkyrie with how niche she is currently.
Thank you for the comment and feedback, I guess since I don’t have Griseo I was mislead that she’s really strong, so I will edit that part of the video out.
As for Fu Hua, I don’t think that she’s a must pull either, that’s why I mentioned that she’s heavily reliant on her gears, but she still is the best fire DPS and she is new after all so I couldn’t leave her out.
Also I see you’re a content creator as well, thank you for the hard work you put in to improve the community! 🤗
@@MJ_18Thank you for the complement, and thank you too for making this guide. But let me correct my wording. IMO, I don't think FoV is a high priority pull either. She's not on the same level as LV, HoTr, or LV at least. I don't have an issue calling her a one of the best DPSes rn, but putting her in the same section as LV, HoRB, and HoTr seems to imply that she's relative in terms of usefulness to them. Although this is a very opinionated take, so I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking she's relative to them.
Dps is never a must pull, so I disagree with you there.
She's a bad pull especially for a new player, she's gear dependent and her main support is hard to get.
Worst of all she was easy to rank up in her first debut, now people are paying regular price for S0
Also - part 2 characters are main priority over part 1 and part 1.5 characters
No part 1 is a must pull or even recommended to pull because part 2 characters are new meta
There's very few guides out there so any guide (not that your is bad, it's great) would be appreciated. I think when I've started playing there's a progression guide that you can follow along like lv10-20 20-30 and so on. Returning to the game a lv.80 with zero memory and there's so many things to do (and to not do lol) so this helps a lot. I'm Seele+Bronya simp I still think Bianka is the coolest Valk lol *PE is coolest tho hehe
Amazing video. Well informed.
great video!! i wanted to save crystals for the FoV gacha skin, but i’m gonna save for thelema and HoRb (whenever she gets a rerun)
😊
thank you fellow loona enjoyer! 😙
Great video very helpful
Glad it was helpful! :D
@@MJ_18 thanks hope to see more from you
Great vid. Thanks.
This is so useful! Thank you so much!
Watching this now, i think now trio lost its value completely as an fire-lightning-ice team, now they will be replaced with part2 trio of sena, thelema and lantern
I personally think I did a big brain thing, when I got HoRb recently in her rerun I only got her cuz I saw she was on the beginner supply so I could roll for her gears for the next 80 ish days at the time…..so hopefully I’m set very soon on her but I might stop spending my gems on her gear for a little bit cuz I want thelema
best of luck to you! 🩷
thanks for this vid! after finishing sena trio i started to feel really confused about what to do (i'm like in my day10 since i started). I will keep saving for Thelema then! (i love lunar vow but as an f2p i know i will not be able to get her gear since part 1 characters are really expensive)
i think that’s the best thing to do as well! 😊
I wasn’t playing:( in that version
Fantastic video, I subscribed. I want to ask you, at this moment do you think its better to pull Senadina to support a Thelema Main DPS or to wait until after Lantern for someone to support Thelema since I don't want Lantern.
Honestly I couldn't tell you 100% cause I don't know what Hoyo's future plan is but as of now Senadina's value is pretty great. Maybe you can see who the 7.6 valk is and then decide :D
@@MJ_18 ok thank you for the advice, I think I'm gonna pull Sena and start saving again
Thanks for this great vid it's crazy to think that i never able to get hoh and i was planning to get her this time but i think it would be better for me to pull for thelema as i already have the new part 2 valk with pull gears hayyyy 😂😢
I just started honkai impact and this is so hard to understand everything like
Is Helia's weapon essential? I'm uncertain if I'll manage to farm up enough crystals for both Thelema and her weapon, along with Helia's weapon :(
Helias weapon is strong, it inflict a total damage taken debuff in enemies hit. However, it isn’t nessacery for her. Still, fully gearing the Senadina trio team should be your first priority as a new f2p player. It should allow you to brute force most endgame content. Then start on the other teams. Ice is cheapest with both the support characters (Li Sushang and Shigure Kira) being farmable.
it’s really good for the senadina/coralie team BUT you don’t have to get it now, I think you should rather save for thelema for the time being and perhaps get helia’s weapon the next time it comes around🤍
Any tips on agony 1? Whenever I play on abyss, I could deal damage but to the enemy's HP bar, it felt like an ant tickling a giant 😂
Granted my physical DPS isn't really up to date (HoV) but she's the best I got.
unfortunately HoV is completely useless, You're better off farming Griseo Cosmic expression or Susannah who do bleed dmg and can deal with physical weathers, farming to buy Miss Pink Elf from War Treasury, or just waiting for the next physical dps to come around! :D
The different recommendations feel a bit odd for Chrono Navi/HoTr, they're both old (only 5 weeks between them), and they're both very meta with no indication they're going away in the near future. But the gacha unit is one of your most recommended and the farm unit is one of you least recommended?
they’re not the same though, chrono navi can only be used in fire teams, while hotr can be used in literally any elemental team, including the trio and Senadina. the only other revolutionary support like HoTr we’ve had is AE and it took exactly 3 years for her to be outclassed.
are there any characters in the game that work fine with F2P gear or not just their gear? sounds kinda hard to get all that signature gear for a beginner
since you’re a beginner, i would really recommend rolling for part 2 characters(senadina/thelema). the meta is shifting towards part 2 characters being the only meta. all part 2 characters have their stigmas craftable so you only need to roll for their weapon which has a 60 pull guarantee and the pity carries over, unlike for part 1 characters’ gear banner where the pity doesn’t carry over. part 1 characters are getting replaced pretty fast and they’re more expensive to build.
besides that, just to mention it, in general characters always need their weapons. as for part 1 characters, supports use turgenevTB/mei beach party M. DPS’ are pretty reliant on their stigmas though. best of luck!🩷
how does this not fucking exhaust you? oh my god i am SO glad i escaped this hellhole powercreep game. jesus fucking christ, it's only been a year and we're calling these valkyries old and outdated...
bro never played gacha games, whining about characters getting powercrept in a YEAR is wild
And there's characters that lasted for THREE YEARS
That's a long time for any gacha character, also just because they're old doesn't mean they're useless now
well that’s unfortunately how average gacha games work, powercreep is pretty bad in most. i have started to be less meta-focused though, now I just roll for characters if i like them 😆
Thank you so much for this video. I am returning player and have a guaranteed S rank in 10 pulls left. I was wondering if I should pull for Lunar Vow, Thelema or Hotr, or wait for Senadina's rerun? I only have old valkyries like Herscher of Reason, Thunder and Void.
hi! to be honest I would really take up part 2 characters as your main priority. Theresa is very good, but these new characters are only getting better with time. As for Thelema or Senadina, for now I would suggest Senadina. Thelema loses damage if she’s run in a team with part 1 supports(kira/sushang) compared to running her with Sena and Coralie. For now I would say wait for Senadina banner, or possibly the new fire s-rank that got teased today! Thank you for watching and commenting! 🤍🩷
@@MJ_18 Thank you so much for replying! This video was very helpful to me. Hope to see more HI3 videos from you! :3
i dont care ill get elysia no matter what i already have her gears plus shes my favorite character 😭😭
i get you, she definitely has the best design in the game imo. i wish you the best of luck! 🩷🩷
@@MJ_18 thank u dear
new player, any recommendations on what 5 star i should get from the log in event?
I would say either herrscher of thunder or dea anchora! :D
Is this guide still relevant?
except for Senadina being valuable, no. I'm planning on doing a new one soon, but for the time being the only thing that's important is to avoid part 1 and roll for part 2 s-ranks. 😚
Looks like I missed the supply for senadina. What do I do?
get thelema and her weapon next patch, she works great with senadina, and then save for senadina's rerun which should be in a couple of months! :D
@@MJ_18 Ty I appreciate the advice :D Sometimes I feel so lost because i started in 2018, played a half year with little to no thoughts about meta. Then I came back 2 weeks ago but felt paralyzed if i should spend on the supply or not lol.
@@MJ_18i just started playing today, and i haven't pull for any crate. should i wait for thalema? but i have senadina team though
@@MJ_18i mean, i dont have senadina team. because its too late😢
I just started playing and I don't have time to pull for Senadina, so I'm pulling starter supply . Am I doing everything right?🫥
If you just started, it’s recommended to pull for the characters from part 2 (for this patch, Senadina) due to their weapon and stigmata being easier to obtain. Even if you don’t have enough time, the pity for character is kept for the next banner, so it’s ok.
Regarding pulling for starter supply, it’s totally fine to do so in my opinion. I personally like part 1 characters more and also they are still strong, especially Seele. (Kiana is also strong, but needs 3 s rank characters for optimization 😂)
Tbh, I would suggest pulling for characters you like instead of meta if you just started. It’s not hard clearing story quests, and it only gets sweaty in late game and requires meta characters.
no you're doing everything wrong, starter supply is a 50/50 banner, herrscher of finality is expensive to build and a bad pull for new players specifically because of that
You should've pulled on expansion supply because Senadina is new meta, she's a lightening dps and elemental support plus her teammate are just two obtainable A ranks they demolish majority of content
@@rontoro8799I agree, I also like the characters of part 1 more. My plan was to either pull for HoRe and use her as a DPS at first time or pull HoFin, pick up the free HoO and then pull HoTr to collect all the trio. And instead of Senadina, I would like Crimson Vow as lightning DPS or maybe Aponia
I would really advise against rolling on starter, HoRB is amazing yes, but HoFi is one of the worst pulls for beginners as she needs two other characters and needs her gears.
Don’t be discouraged because you missed out on Senadina, characters in this game have reruns very often, so she’ll probably be back in 2-3 months! As for now, save your crystals for Thelema next patch, there’s still a month before she’s released AND her banner will last 3-4 weeks. Best of luck! 😙
You're doing the uh... Complete opposite of what you should be doing, you wasted your crystals please don't pull on the starter banner anymore
